Block of a Scrappy Hexagon Quilt - No Measuring!

This is an improv-style quilt block that ends up looking much more complicated to make than it really is. There are no y seams and in fact, there is no measuring before you sew at all!

Now what we are going to do is sew one strip right sides together to one side of your starting hexagon using a standard 1/4″ seam allowance. I started with my white fabric.
